Help needed finding a magazine article
« on: September 30, 2016, 12:42:17 AM »
I know that this is a longshot but I'm trying to find an article in either Muzzleloader or Muzzleblasts from a few years ago that featured rifles that were in the movies.  I'm needing pics of the "wender" rifle Gary Cooper used in Unconquered.  It was also used in The Big Sky.  I'm wanting pics of the patchbox cover and the carving details. I know I've seen them somewhere but can't  remember where.
Thanks.  Any help would sure be appreciated.

All of my muzzleloaders will shoot into one ragged hole ALL DAY LONG ... it's just the 2nd or 3rd & other shots that tend to open up my groups ... !

Thanks Flint 62.  That's the gun alright.  Unfortunately it dosen'tshow much detail.  I was surprised at the amount the gun brought.  Thought it would bring more.

There were a few pictures of it in the auction of Stembridge owned guns. Forget who the auction company was. I have followed that gun for probably 20 years or so. I don't remember ever seeing an article in Muzzle Blasts  or Muzzleloader about it. Like to see someone make an early version swivel breach with a round face lock.

GT,

I remember the article, so probably MB, as I don't get ML.  Another possibility is American Tradition, seems like there might have been something about movie rifles in it 2-3 yrs. ago.  I remember an article with really good pictures, I think!

If you can get the photographers contact info, I am sure he/she will be glad to provide more photos for a fee.   If you are going to re-publish the photos, you will need to license them anyway.

Thanks fellas.  Couldn't find it in any of my magazines.  Probably in one I gave away.  I guess I'll search the web some more. I'll try the Stembridge route.
